Get ready for the B’s heavy game in the third. Can we hold up to it?

I miss Dahlsy🤷🏻‍♂️

Dahlsy is vital to the power play. Power has no shot.

We have to win or tie in the 3rd. 
 

Let’s play in their zone and get more goals. 

You don’t mean… play a full 60 minutes

Eh.  Maybe, but this whole game they've looked like paper bruins.  Soft even.  Part of it I think is you can't hit what you can't catch and the Sabres are moving their feet tonight.

That's MR @Claude Balls to you!

How many times have we had a lead going in to the third. We need to stay aggressive right from the first faceoff in the third. Let’s go boyzzz

No, they only need 8 more minutes.  This is an 80% league.

I can't get over how good Meatballs is coaching tonight. Hope he can get on a roll.

That shot by Tage was Vintage Thompson.  You love to see it.

HAHAHA.... Howard Simon just used the phrase Vintage Tage Thompson in the Studio.

He reads Sabrespace!

[BC Sabres Fan]

Tage has more in him.

I thought he looked "okay" last game, but that's understandable:  He was shaking off the rust.  Tonight though he looks better than he's looked all year.  I think this means no more Tage on the PK.

Who’s the velvet Elvis on the Bruins telecast ? A bit heavy on the purple there fella. 

[lowsabre]

If I hear "ESPN+ Originals" one more time

I don't know what I'll do

Its crazy to think he had over 20 goals by this point last year we need him healthy and shooting that puck!

This is really going to be the Sabres thing, isn’t it..

It is the future you see.

And I agree. They have gaps that Sheevyn should have addressed this offseason, but failed to. (Again, in the case of a standard NHL goalie ... even a Reimer-level guy). But the arrows are all still pointing upward, as annoying as it is to the fans who've somehow paid attention since Leino.

Bruins thought it'd be easy. If you face this season's Sabres without Dahlin, Tuch, Girgs, Quinn... you should cakewalk.

But the Sabres proved last season, when they're skating, they really are hard to deal with for most teams. Even the ones that try to play heavy and end up hitting nothing.

The best part is, if the Sabres can withstand a barrage and play their transition game, they could win this one going away.

If these idiot D men would take a half tick to make the better play, that goal doesn’t happen. It’s maddening how unpoised our players are. Nothing but panic at critical times.

Yeah that was EJ too. He had an easy pass to someone near the wall and it was hurried,  getting passed the Sabre and to a bruin at the blue line. Puck went down low again, and shortly after off EJ’s skate. 
if the Sabres lose, it will be plays like that from the D.

He's high maintenance.  Puck has to be teed up perfectly for him. Also I see some laziness on the back check. Other than that I think he will improve as season progresses.

[lowsabre]

The Sabres remind me of my academic performance during the pandemic
